It's Official: Tajima Teams Upwards Alongside Rimac For Pikes Pinnacle 2015
Team APEV with MONSTER SPORT, led past times the racing legend Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, teamed upwardly with Rimac Automobili. As a result, 2015 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Race volition possess got a novel 1.1 MW brute at the starting line, the Tajima Rimac E-Runner Concept_One.
Rimac Automobili are 1 time once again showing their vigorous racing deoxyribonucleic acid taking the challenge inwards 1 of the well-nigh prestigious races inwards the world. Mr. Tajima’s decades long sense inwards racing in addition to Rimac Automobili’s dry reason of the fine art engineering in addition to know-how brought to life a staggering creation, the Tajima Rimac E-Runner Concept_One. It is powered past times iv independent electrical motors, giving the machine a amount ability of over 1,1 MW (1,475 HP). That is to a greater extent than than twice the ability Mr. Tajima had inwards his 2014 machine when he broke his ain Pikes Peak record, stopping the clock at 9:43,90.
There are no gearboxes or differentials on this car. The ability of each independent motor is transferred to each bike past times an innovative chain drive organisation developed specifically for this project, which saves a lot of weight in addition to space. Embracing the Rimac Automobili technology, the Tajima Rimac E-Runner Concept_One features an adapted racing version of the Rimac All Wheel Torque Vectoring system, kickoff implemented inwards the Rimac Concept_One.
The Rimac AWTV controls the torque of each motor 100 times a second. The organisation tin vary the torque on each bike depending on the steering angle, speed, longitudinal in addition to lateral forces, yaw-rates in addition to divulge of other variables. The ECU runs the collected sensor-data through complex mathematical algorithms which calculate the optimum torque distribution on a millisecond-level. This enables the vehicle to possess got amount payoff of the tires, squeezing the maximum out of their potential in addition to giving the driver the desired vehicle dynamics at whatsoever given moment. Mr Tajima volition thence possess got both the 1,1 MW of ability in addition to maximum suitcase inwards each of the Pikes Peak’s 156 corners.
“We measured 0-100 km/h inwards 2,2 seconds. 200 km/h comes inwards 5,4 seconds from a standstill. Cornering forces in addition to stopping numbers are likewise impressive, but let’s non spoil the surprise. We are quite confident that Tajima Rimac E-Runner Concept_One volition interruption previous year’s record. He is a groovy driver with tons of experience. Interesting fact – he raced Pikes Peak his kickoff fourth dimension a twelvemonth earlier I was born. 28 years later, nosotros piece of work amongst to force the limits further. With the back upwardly of our best engineers in addition to technicians, our technology, powertrain, battery-system in addition to Torque Vectoring, he volition move able to force the boundaries of electrical race cars to a whole novel level. Working with Mr. Tajima in addition to his squad is an amazing sense of which nosotros taste every second.” reveals Mr. Rimac.
“The Pikes Peak is 1 of well-nigh hard loma climbs inwards the world, because it is held on a world road, non a race track. The atmospheric condition are constantly changing. We wish to develop engineering in addition to assemble sense from the Pikes Peak race for evolution of better, safer, in addition to naught emission route cars. This is my aim. Rimac Automobili is a quite immature fellowship but their heed in addition to their spirit are fantastic. The degree of technology, professionalism in addition to vertical integration that this fellowship has managed to orbit inwards such a curt fourth dimension amazed me. I am really happy because Rimac Automobili is exactly the best partner for Team APEV.” said Mr. Tajima after the initial testing inwards Croatia.
The Pikes Peak loma climb is 19,9 km long in addition to ends upwardly at 4,301 thousand higher upwardly bounding main level. Petrol engines possess got oxygen starvation occupation at that height - the ability of the engine decreases over xl percent. However, electrical motors don’t run oxygen, then Mr. Tajima volition possess got the amount ability of all iv electrical motors available from commence until the complete line.
Pikes Peak race
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race inwards Colorado has taken house since 1916. On average it features to a greater extent than or less 130 competitors from all over the world. This twelvemonth the lawsuit is starting with practise sessions on Tuesday, June 23rd, culminating on race day, Lord's Day June 28th. The rail is 19,99 km (12,42 miles) long, has 156 turns climbing 1,440 thousand (4,720 ft) from the commence at Mile7 of the Pikes Peak Highway, to the complete at 4,300 thousand (14,110 ft).
